Chivalry ^^

Dragons, fights, horses, knights, damsels in distress...and so much more make up the fictional stories set into medieval time...but there is one thing that could not be more real: chivalry.
The word chivalry is much associated with the knight's code of conduct, their honor and virtues. The word itself derives from the French word "chevalerie", which derives from knight ("cheval").
Today, chivalry and chivalrous is used to describe a gentlemanlike behaviour towards women.
Why do I bother to explain it? Because yesterday, the small act of a young man simply lit my day:
I was with a friend on the bus (mind you, on the wrong bus, but on the bus nonetheless) when a mother with her baby girl got on. The seats were filled, and there was no place for her to sit. Before I could react, the guy sitting to our right got up and offered her his seat.

The action itself seems so insignificant, but the fact that there are still some young people of our generation out there that are worth something, just made me smile and giggle.
